I am newbie in this list and I don't know if I am in totally wrong
place. I really (desperately) need some expert to help me

identifying one piece of gold "something". It is therefore
"something" 'cos I can't find any use for it whatsoever. Only info I
have is that it is somehow related to either Naples/Italy or
Aachen/Germany.

Also, I am not even sure if the original (upper image) is real, or if
the imade has been quite heavily modified (in photoshop, I reduced
the original to single golden ring, made four other layers with this
single ring and fused them together resulting similar but fake
image). This theory (Stetson-Harrison method*) of modification is
based only on highly repetitive details in other 4 "rings" and weird
looking shadow inside "something" - shadow should not continue with
the same form and intensity on next visible "ring". So here it is,

resolution.

Also, any advice of other active (maybe more specialized) forums
would be highly appreciated. Well, any clues would do fine..

I am sure that there would be many here who would like to help you,'Justin Case', if your message meant anything at all. If you have areal question, why not ask it? Do you actually 'have' this piece, oris it a picture you found on the internet? Try giving some context,and an actual question, if you want any kind of useful answer.

hi Justin, the language looks like Finnish to me, but a friend fromthat part of the world said " old Estonian". It seems fairly obviousthat it is about " the original X 5 equaling the final image", is itfrom a manual on computer imagery? I think that you are correct aboutthe image being "photoshopped" the shadows and reflections on themetal indicate this, and BTW i think it is a bangle, not a ring, andfairly old looking at that... just my opinions,
